What is Connect Night?
At Connect Nights, the purpose is to create a space for youth to connect with God and others in community through hangouts with leaders and friends, games, music, a short message, small group discussion and snack, and all the great moments that happen at Connect Night with friends!
Connect Nights run during the school year, from September to May, and in order to serve youth in an age appropriate way, the City Youth runs Jr Connect Night for grades 5 to 8 and Sr Connect Night for Grades 8 to 12.
